Canadian Charity Law
The Canada Revenue Agency has recently been sending out a new form letter to some applicants for charitable registration which appear to have foreign activities requesting they provide greater detail in terms of the foreign activities. Here is a copy of a sample letter from CRA. The letter is worth reading and I would emphasize the importance of providing sufficient detail of the proposed foreign activity as well as a draft agreement for any structured arrangements.

A recent report entitled “The Commitment to Development Index for Africa: How Much do the Richest Countries Help the Poorest Continent? is well worth reading. As we know Canada has a good reputation in terms of helping developing countries. The numbers in this report show in fact that Canada is below average amongst the 21 wealthiest nations in helping reduce poverty in Africa. If mediocrity is your goal - Canada is succeeding. This report discusses not only foreign aid but also trade, investment, and migration policies, as well as other factors such as commitments to the environment, to security, and to technology.

I am just back from the 2008 AGM of the Canadian Council for International Co-operation. It was awe inspiring to see some of the wonderful work being done by Canadian charities in the international development realm. Not only was this a celebration of CCIC’s 40th anniversary but it was also a celebration of a very important legislative victory in the realm of international development.
